Tcpreplay v2.2.1 released (and then some)

[Aaron Turner <aturner () pobox com>]

Hey everyone,

I've just released Tcpreplay v2.2.1 which includes a number of
enhancements and bug fixes that are probably of interest to anyone who
is interested in testing or evaluating sniffer or inline IDS/IPS's.

Specifically, tcpreplay's IP address (Layer 3 and ARP) and Layer 2
rewriting features have been significantly improved to allow replaying
virtually any packet capture (ethernet, RAW, and LINUX_SLL) onto
arbitrary networks.

Anyways, to help me plan the future of tcpreplay, I would really
appreciate it if everyone could answer a few questions regarding
tcpreplay:

- How important is raw performance? 

- How important is accurate timing between packets (sending packets
according to their timestamps)?

- How important is the ability to modify packets via tcpreplay?

- How important is the ability to split traffic between two interfaces?

- Is tcpreplay (with currently 40 options) too complicated?

- What features are the most useful?

- What features are of no use?

- What size pcap files do you work with?

- What do you use tcpreplay for?

- What features are most confusing or poorly documented?

- What other tools do you use to work with pcap files? (tcpdump,
  ethereal, netdude, etc)

- If you use tcpreplay at work, school or for a project, tell me about
  it.  

- If there was a public and free pcap vulnerability database, would you
  contribute?

- Any other comments, suggestions or rants?

Please reply back to me directly, and I'll summarize the results on the
tcpreplay homepage; thanks!
